Which of the Following is Produced by the Body in Response

Question

Which of the following is produced by the body in response to viral infection?
A)Memory cells.
B)Cytokines.
C)Interferon.
D)Antibodies.
E)All of the above.

Accepted Answer

All of the choices listed are produced by the body in response to viral infection. Memory cells are part of the adaptive immune response, retaining a memory of the pathogen for faster response upon future exposures. Cytokines are signaling proteins that mediate and regulate immunity, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Interferon is a type of cytokine that cells produce in response to viral infections; it inhibits virus replication. Antibodies are produced by B cells to neutralize pathogens.
